** Description changed:
Now that synaptic is gone from ubuntu, we need a more accessible way to
manage updates. Thus some important synaptic features need to be brought
back.
A) Sorting
Sorting was a very important accessibility feature in synaptic and is also available in almost every other major OS ranging from mint update, Mac Os updater to Windows Update, etc.

B) select/deselect ALL (which also was a feature of synaptic)

- In contrast ubuntu update manager is the least accessible and trying to manage updates with it can cause RSI (Repetitive strain injury).
